Describe Git deployment approach

See https://ecoconsulting.co.uk/solutions/#deploy-a-website-to-a-server-using-git

Or the (very similar) setup I have for my own web site. web/denisdefreyne.com.git/hooks/post-receive:

#!/bin/bash

set -ex

TARGET="/var/www/virtual/defreyne/denisdefreyne.com"
GIT_DIR="/home/defreyne/web/denisdefreyne.com.git"

BRANCH="built"

while read oldrev newrev ref
do
        if [ "$ref" = "refs/heads/$BRANCH" ];
        then
                echo "Ref $ref received. Deploying ${BRANCH} branch on server..."
                git --work-tree="${TARGET}" --git-dir="${GIT_DIR}" checkout -f ${BRANCH}
        else
                echo "Ref $ref received. Doing nothing: only the ${BRANCH} branch may be deployed on this server."
        fi
done

I updated my "from scratch" guide at the link above, but it might be too much to add to the Nanoc site? Still, happy to have the link there. Also happy to sanitise your info and do the update next week.
